A reminder to the news media: âconflicting accountsâ is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Intolerante boodschappen worden zelden openlijk zo gebracht. De meeste mensen zien zichzelf graag als redelijk en moreel goed. Veel effectiever om ze een frame te geven waarin ze intolerant kunnen zijn zonder dat zelfbeeld te hoeven loslaten. Daarom zijn dit soort nep-lieve stukjes geniepig.
